    There can be no breach of privacy here unless you are in breach of the T&C.
    The referral scheme assumes the owner of the code knows the person they gave the code to and the reciever of the code knows who gave it to them. Freinds or Family.
    Octopus T&C 7.5.6   "(If) We have reason to believe you are sending or advertising your Personalised Link to people who are not known to you or if you are in any way trying to benefit from our referral scheme on a commercial basis rather than for personal use. We may review any account we think might be "taking the mickey" — particularly if we receive complaints from other customers, or if you have referred over 10 people in any 12 month period and we reserve the right to deactivate your Personalised Link or move you to a different scheme."

     including personal information about the person who has used it.

    That would be a breach of GDPR

    No, it would not.
